Revisiting the show has been fun i really enjoy the comedy from the leads and even the side characters like Ox and maxwell nerdstrom are really fun additions to the show.
Saved By The Bell was one of the best shows that ever aired on Saturday mornings. Ok so it wasn't a show full of Emmy quality performances, but it was a show that was an escape from the everyday pressure that school has on its students. Saved By The Bell centers on a group of friends and their ups and downs through high school. Filled with memorable moments and interesting characters, SBTB is one of the best young adult programs of its time. It has stood the test of time and still remains a popular program. I think it was a show made for the sure purpose of entertaining its young audience for a half an hour. There are a lot of episodes that were pretty amusing. Never again will a generation make such a connection as the one mine did with SBTB, the series starred Mark Paul Gosselaar as Zack Morris, the main character who each week spun in and out of several pretty extreme situation. His main squeeze Kelly Kapowski played by Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, and the most popular geek Screech, played by Dustin Diamond. Also along for the ride were Slater, Jessie, and Lisa, who made up the rest of the gang. I don't think that it was ever aimed to break the barriers of great television it was what it was. Sure the series made high school look like a piece of cake, for example being able to go to The Max whenever they wanted, taking advantage of the principal, and tricking nerds into doing anything they wanted. But Saved By the Bell was one of those shows that as corny as it may be, it will forever remain one the most entertaining shows in the history of children's entertainment.
I remember watching this show when I was about 5 or 6 on TCC. The characters were the best! Zack was the slickest there was, Slater was the muscular jock on the wrestling team. Screech always kept me in stitches with his nerd-like personality. Best bit would have to be foxy cheerleaders Lisa and Kelly played by the beautiful Lark Voorhies and the lovely Tiffany-Amber Theissen. I didn't care too much for Jessie though (A Little Self-Righteous) Also I'd burst into fits when Zack would take a pop at Belding. This show had decent plots (Standard 80s theme). This review would not be worth writing without mentioning the comical presence of Ed Alonzo (It was a shame to write him out, but maybe the characters thought Max was too '80s). This show was goood and I enjoyed the feature length Hawaii Episode. I didn't care for "Saved by the Bell: The College Years". And I agree with whoever said Saved by the bell: The New Class was rubbish! That show sucked big time
Those show was just too boring. Now Nickelodeon UK airs these in reruns, I still watch it. It makes a change from the other shows.
All in All, One of the best shows to come out of the 1980s.

Saved by the bell is definitely one of the best teen shows around and one which I've been watching for years. It's a classic. The whole cast are great and they really suit their roles. Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario López, Dustin Diamond, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley, Lark Voorhies are all great as Zack, (So CUTE.) Slater, Screech, (So FUNNY.) Kelly, Jessie and Lisa. Dennis Haskins is okay as Mr. Belding. He's just a little annoying though. The show is full of fun and romance and it's no surprise that many teen shows nowadays copy things that Saved by the bell first did. Saved by the bell is a great show. 10/10
Saved by the bell was a fun children's programme to watch when it aired here in the UK on ITV in the early 1990s. It was very good to pass the time and enjoy yourself with the intriguing characters and the actors who played them well.
The characters are well thought out with a set of boys and girls to match each other with fun storylines though some can very over the top and exaggerated it does not spoil the series.
The programme also touched on release life issues and other teenage related problems that had to be referenced though it was sanitised to appeal to a universal audience.
I feel this would of been better if it was an American Grange Hill were you have interesting characters, school politics, and a clash of the old and new worlds.

- TriviaOriginally, Zack and Slater were written as bitter rivals for Kelly's romantic affections. Off-screen, Mario Lopez and Mark-Paul Gosselaar were (and continue to be) very close friends. The writers, sensing their obvious chemistry, had the characters re-written as best friends, and they remained that way for the rest of the show.
